CryptoPrevent Protection Settings->FolderWatch HoneyPot Tab

FolderWatch HoneyPot tab:

• Enable FolderWatch HoneyPot Ransomware Detection (Premium Only)
  • The HoneyPot feature related to FolderWatch places numerous files around your PC to act as bait.
    • the root folder of each Protected location selected in the FolderWatch tab will be protected by the honeypot files
    • this includes any custom locations
    • honeypot files may or may not be visible in these locations depending on what hidden/system files you have shown
  • When activity is detected against these files, the HoneyPot feature will do everything in its power to prevent any further system activity, including:
    • slowing the system
    • only allowing it to be rebooted or shutdown.
  • When this feature is activated, the idea is that the system has been grievously compromised and your data is at risk from malicious activity.
    • As such, it is a “last ditch” effort to preserve your data with the hopes that only our bait files will be compromised and not any legitimate data.
    • Please use this feature with caution as there is the possibility of false positives due to the fact that any manipulation of the HoneyPot files will trigger our HoneyPot protections.
